Girl names for sister to Rosa?

28 replies

Hankthehonk · 13/02/2023 21:20

Still early in pregnancy and don't know the sex yet, although we will find out when we can.
We have a boy's name picked out (two options actually) but we are really struggling to think of a girl's name.
Our daughter is called Rosa, it was the only girl's name we liked last time. We are Scottish and like Scottish/Celtic names, no longer than two syllables (as we have a long surname) and easy to spell. I love Gaelic names like Niamh but my husband vetoes them because he doesn't want our kid to need to explain how to spell them forever!
Any ideas?! It doesn't have to be Scottish.

Hankthehonk · 13/02/2023 22:47

Thank you all so much for all these beautiful name ideas!
Of the ones you've suggested I really like Erin, Carys, and Rory.
Many of the others are lovely but very common up here and we know some already e.g Isla, Eilidh and Flora

You could spell it Neve?!

DaveSpud · 14/02/2023 07:15

Morven

Shamoo · 14/02/2023 07:17

Rosa is our name if DC2 is a girl. First one is Mabel.

EmilyGilmoresSass · 14/02/2023 07:18

I've heard of Rosa and Sylvie together and thought they were a nice match. Also Cora.

liveforsummer · 14/02/2023 07:36

Also do you like the sound of another a ending name? I think it has a nice ring.

Lola and Rosa
Nina and Rosa
Neva and Rosa (seeing you like Neve/Niamh)
Flora also nice but as you say fairly common in these parts and maybe two flowery names is a bit much

Hankthehonk · 14/02/2023 20:19

Thank you everyone! Neva is another interesting one we hadn't thought of.

Our surname is one you always need to spell out so basically we want to make sure our kids don't also have to explain their first names!
